Dreams from the last two months.

The last one was last night

It was me and Jeremy and we were going from one factory to another. We had to engage them, start them running. Big and silver like a futuristic hospital. The rhythm of the dream was kind of like a computer game. Like we'd go out and come back and it was like you'd level up. There was one factory and it was so nanotechnology inspired that the whole facility looked like a USB stick but you could look at it zoomed way in and see all these component parts.

We were in this really fun high energy rock band. We were working on out next album in this shabby but capacious share house. White boards, all one level, kind of a mess. The main character was this blonde girl who looked a little like tank girl but was kind of innocent, gullible, silly. She had all these necklaces around her neck including a miniature teddy bear she called Steve, who had this little key attached to him as well. Anyway there was a whole part where we were at the house talking about or trying to write some songs. It was a little creative difference ish, but not in the screaming breaking up way, it just wasn't that easy. And then we had to go to our concert. It was like living end style music, a little pop punk but good, kind of jumpy v high energy and cheerful. She's singing, Geena in empire records ish, and there's some glancing to and fro at bandmates etc. All good feelings. At the end of the concert the band had like six people and the front four jumped into the crowd, one after the other. Blonde girl has been making eyes at this shaved headed kind of homeless looking punk dude during the concert and jumps into his arms. Then after he's like holding her and they're talking. He is shallowly charming, and he's spinning this whole line about how his friend wanted nachos but they got messed up. It seems kind of transparently untrue but she's kind of uncertain but falling for it a little, in that you know something bad is up but you don't know how to get out of it so you go with it even though your instinct is being sticky and bad kind of way. She's like you want to make nachos? And he's like that's the beauty of it we don't have to. Then he hooks Steve on his finger and looks at it and says you hide that and she murmurs. But that kind of convinces her like a sign. So then we have an establishing shot of the house and then I woke up. He wasn't going to like rape her, but maybe rob the house or maybe just like score a free meal. He was dodgy though.

I was at Tony's house and his girlfriend was into indoor gardening. He had a lot of beautifully constructed small tendrilly vines.

The younger brother of the family maybe 12 or 13 had been hit by a car,or run into one anyway. He was in hospital and the family was talking about admitting their daughter, about 19 to the hospital to keep him company. But the girl was heavily pregnant, and the family was afraid she'd pop in the hospital and that doctor had refused to deal with the birth.

Before that I was in their yard, a long prospect of grass, splendid but featureless. And the servants, an older woman from the house and a gardener were telling me stories from the family, this one among them. They had a big house, white.

But before that, Jes and I were at these people's house before a concert and she was irritated because she was ready to go and I kept having things to do. I took cheese and butter from their house sort of ganking it bc I forgot it from the start. Like at the shops I was at before.

I was the captain of a space ship, male, a disk ship. We were a kind of space adventurer. There was a villainous lizard race. We were at war with them and trying to avoid them mostly as they were stronger. I could shrink the spaceship or the people were miniaturised. So when I was on shore on a planet I could carry the spaceship in my arms and talk to my crew through a slot . The war with the lizard people went on for a while . I was on a barren planet and how I remember it was that someone creeped up behind me . I thought it was one of the lizard men . How I remember it when I was attacked from behind and I grabbed my attacker and choked him and then broke his neck but after he was dead I realised it was not a lizard person but another humanoid race . I started to stash his body in a pile of leaves but then dragged it into a nearby marsh. He turned out to have a crew that had landed on the same planet. In the meantime my ship had a navigational fault. This ship navigated by a jumping method . It would identify an area of space with less than 30% density and then leap the ship there. This enabled us to avoid our enemies because we could jump from place to place far away in space with little control but fair certainty of safety. Since it organised the galaxy by density rather than linearly we could run and hide very effectively. However without the navigation system we could not necessarily avoid jumping into the middle of a star or planet. So we needed the assistance of the other crew to repair the navigation system and I did not trust them enough to tell them I had killed their friend. The other crew was also space adventurers but they had been less involved in the war. I did not think they would understand how trigger happy I had gotten. Further we were stranded so very vulnerable. They were looking for their mate and I was going through the motions of looking with them cognizant that the body was not well hidden though it was a swampy planet.

At the base of the garden was a tiny gate. Big enough to crawl through but not big enough to walk through. She walked me down there and was going to turn over the key to me, so wanted to show me the basics so I could explore. She deliberately didn't tell me everything she knew though.  The door was a small arched wooden gate, well seated into the back fence, and the key was an old fashioned wooden pencil. You could use the pencil to note your thoughts and experiences but even if the lead broke, the wooden bit would fit in the keyhole. So she showed me how to use the key and then I went through. I think only one person could go through at a time because if I went, she stayed, and the idea was that she had gotten what she needed to out of the place and was handing it over to me, thought I needed something too. She explained to me that the tiny people lived here. There was a path that went left and right, and a small creek. There was a sign that said to stay off the path, but it was really the only way to go, so both of us walked on it. I started out crawling. She said there was a better chance of seeing the tiny people that way. They were there and she had seen them, but they were shy and not that common. There were a race of bigger people who lived further in. Anyway, the rocks and bark hurt my knees so I stood up. Cats could live back in this world but no people. Still you'd see the occasional neighborhood cat you recognised.

I walked along the path to the left first. It seemed to be the longer way. The creek followed the road, and it was lovely in an English countryside kind of way. Far in the distance I could hear was seemed to be excited voices going up in cheers and cries, and I could see a bunch of dots that would seem to converse, then a cry would go up and they would all move. This, I thought must be the tiny people. But when I got there, they were birds. Tiny finches, green on on the back, white belly, with both black and scarlet on their heads. They were lovely, and it wasn't a kind of bird I had seen before, but I was still a little disappointed I hadn't seen the people.

The path continued up a green hill and turned, it seemed to go on a long way, and so I wanted to wait to go too far until I had more time, a proper expedition. So I turned back and went to the right of the gate. This way the road didn't extend far before you got to a small tavern. This thing had room after room and there were people carousing in one room, playing darts in another, and some people actually lived there. There was a girl a couple sizes smaller than me because I tried on her clothes, who had a whole walk in wardrobe and a couple of rooms. And a boy who also lived there. He was interested in the key but I got the impression it wasn't easy to take if I didn't let him.

Over the course of several visits we got to know these people and there was this whole plan to do a prank on these kids, we were going to take the girl's clothes to our side of the gate. It was like a joke, but also we really wanted something too. Then I woke up.
